House is coming together

Here's our living room, sort of. The rocker dis gone and there is a desk there now. The awesome rug is a house warming gift from my mother-in-law and I LOVE it. 

Maryam's room.

Jax's room.

Our trip to TN

We were supposed to leave home by noon for our 2 hour car ride to OC, to catch a 4:40 flight to Phoenix. Our flight out of Phoenix was supposed to depart at 6:15 to TN. I got a text message at 6:18am that our 4:40 flight out of OC had been delayed 40 minutes. I called the airline to find out what the plan was since we'd be missing our connection. The nice lady assured me that they would hold the plane because it was the last flight out of Phoenix to TN for the day.
About 2 hours later I got another text telling me that my 4:40 flight had been delayed until 6:30! Holy cow! I called the airline again to find out what the new plan was. I was given 3 options and only one of them seemed to make sense! So, with our new plan we ended up leaving the house 3 hours earlier! I was running around like a CRAZY person! I had 30 minutes to finish packing, dress and medicate the children and get on the road. Thankfully my Inlaws were super helpful loading up the car seats, luggage, and kids. It was NUTS!
Once we got to OC, curb checked our luggage and car seats, I felt loads better. I really am a terrible traveler. Something always goes wrong. Lucky for us, all the wrong happened early in our day. Except for Jax spilling a drink on himself, the iPad, Maryam, me, and his seat and the HORRIBLE flight attendant who refused to help me. All I asked her to do was hold the rest of the drink so I could change his pants and clean up the seat. She refused siting some stupid rule about not being able to take a cup w/o having a trash bag in hand. I wanted to throw the rest of the drink at her, at that point I was more than a little overwhelmed and a lot covered in Sprite.
Enjoy our travel photos!

Moving right along...

Got our bubble wrap and plastic wrap today from my 4th favorite smile! I have 8 boxes packed and a whole house to go!

Our weekend

It was in the 70's this weekend! We took advantage of the warm weather by playing for hours out in the backyard on Friday. Spending over 3 hours at two different parks on Saturday. Then the kids played outside for hours again on Sunday. It really was great being outside!
Jax is going through something. He spends hours a day literally on top of me. He goes from on my lap to on my shoulders. He doesn't want to leave my side for too long. I think he may be subconsciously scared that I'll leave like Daddy did. He hasn't said it, but I'm leaning towards that being the reason for his new obsession w/Mommy. Poor little guy.
Brett says he's doing well in Tennessee! We reserved our moving truck. He picked March 15th for the pick up date but that can change very easily. Don't worry, we won't be moving without giving everyone due notice. :)

Disneyland (sigh)

So, I guess this is as good a time as any to make an announcement. Brett and I decided to move our family to TN. A job opportunity presented itself and he took it. He'll be leaving next Saturday. The kids and I will head east when Brett finds us a home and as soon as we save up enough money to move our belongings.
Last Wednesday Brett and my BFF Chrissy surprised me w/a trip to Disneyland. It was the last time for a long time that our two families would be going together. It was a wonderful, yet sad day.
I'm happy to announce that Jax is big enough to ride the big kid rides now! He loved Star Tours! I really hope we come back once a year so he never forgets the Disney magic. I love that place.
The day was pretty emotional for me. Knowing it was our last trip for a while made it sad. Knowing that Brett would be leaving soon made me sad. Knowing that I'm not going to be going to Disneyland once a month anymore made me sad. Watching my kids playing with my BFF's kids and loving each other so much made me sad. I'm going to miss them most of all.
We ended our day by riding Soarin Over California two times in a row. I cried both times.
